Most bumps on the eyelid are styes. A stye is an inflamed oil gland on the edge of your eyelid, where the lash meets the lid. It appears as a red, swollen bump that looks like a pimple. It is tender, especially to the touch.
Alternative NamesBump on the eyelid; Stye
Causes, incidence, and risk factorsA stye is caused by bacteria from the skin that get into the oil glands in the eyelids that provide lubrication to the tear film. Styes are similar to common acne pimples that occur elsewhere on the skin. You may have more than one stye at the same time.
Styes usually develop over a few days and may drain and heal on their own. A stye can become a chalazion -- this is when an inflamed oil gland becomes fully blocked. If a chalazion gets large enough, it can cause trouble with your vision.
If you have blepharitis (see eye redness), you are more likely to get styes.
Other possible eyelid bumps include:
In addition to the red, swollen bump, other possible symptoms include:
A doctor can diagnose a stye just by looking at it. Special tests are usually not necessary.
TreatmentStyes often get better on their own. However, they may recur. The outcome is generally excellent with simple treatment.
ComplicationsCall your doctor if:
Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching the skin around your eye. If you are susceptible to styes, it may help to carefully clean off excess oils from the edges of your lids.

Yes, a chalazion is a small bump that can form in or under the eyelid. This bump forms because of a blocked oil gland.
A sty or stye is a painful infection on the eyelid. It is a small red bump that is filled with pus and many times will look a lot like a pimple.
The medical term for a localized purulent infection of a sebaceous gland in the eyelid is "hordeolum" or "sty". It is a common condition that causes a painful, red bump to form on the eyelid. Treatment usually involves warm compresses and sometimes antibiotic ointment.

A bump is a lump like, for example, a bump on your skin or a bump in a road.
Eyelid bumps or styes. I'm Dr. Alan Greene and let's talk about what they are and what you do about them. That common eyelid bump, usually a stye, happens when one of the little glands right around the edge of the eyelid get plugged or partially plugged. You get a bump there that's really sort of like a pimple from acne, except it's actually the eye. And it will generally go away on it's own after a while, but you can speed it up by doing warm compresses on the eye maybe 10 minutes at a time with a warm washcloth, 4 times a day or so. And that will help it go through its whole process much more quickly.Sometimes that bump will get completely plugged and it will get something that's quite painful and red, called a chalazion. And you use the same thing there - the warm compresses. But if it's not going away, that's the time you want to call your doctor to see if something else should be done.Reviewed ByReview Date: 09/18/2011David C.
